Reply | Erosion of team Ashton / McKenna
at 19:04 5 Jul 2025
But hes residing in the USA. Yes there's room or Teams etc, but hes not literally beside Ashton.
I think Ashton is a it of a power mogal. At Town hes operating with the luxury of VERY wealthy ba keys. Money no object. And Ashton has no immediate check in place on a day to day basis regarding his decision making. It really isn't a safe situation in my humble opinion. If the brown stuff hits the fan he'll be the first to make for the fast exit, or even if a better job becomes available he may well decide to run ship. Then who is at this Club to step in? |

I reckon things will pick from tomorrow as the players are back gor pre season. So no doubt the photo shoots will be first in the new kit, maybe even a signing announcement.... |

Of course get hadn't. My point is simply thst hell have his work cut to establish himself at Chelsea. I wish him all the best, I really do, but I honestly think he could have gone to other top 6 clubs that were interested in him, and had a better chance of establishing himself, that's all. He wants a senior Engkand call up fiesnt he, but the manager said he needs to be in the PL
(tick) and playing regularly (not so sure he'll get that after the honeymoon period is over, but I really DO hope he does).
As for the no doubt, gaslighting comments from posters such as bluebadger and herbivore, well, they're wasting their time because I blocked them months ago along with their other gaslighting buddies, and I can't see anything they post. The forum is a lot more pleasant without them, thankfully. |

I think he was daft even going to chelsea. Of all the clubs hes had after him he chooses that Basket Case of a club who accumulate players, like stagnant stones gather moss. |

This club tournament is a load of cobblers, and I bet Delap is secretly none to happy at being pulled out of those U21 Euros for this 3rd rate competition.
A lot of those U21 players are pushing for a senior squad inclusion. I can see Harvey Elliott getting the nod. I'd love him at Town, but not a hope in hell whilst in the CC unfortunately. |

I'd say 100% the police will move it to Sunday at midday...which in my opinion ruins the day as a footballing event. |

I do wonder how long g itll be before the club gets its shouting network up to the required level. But I believe Ashton alluded to us trying to nick certain individuals from other clubs scouting networks. So not an easy job I guess, or quick. Bur I do think we are hampered by this gaping hole in our scouting infrastructure. But at least we're looking into trying to remedy this, unlike the Evans days of recruitment off the back of a fag packet. |

I believe last season, McKenna said he wanted home grown players due to the potential language barrier experienced with foreign players who didnt speak English, which disrupted training sessions..... so we have potentially excluded a whole swaith of possible signings. |

We've needed physicality through the spine of the side for seasons now. So it's no surprise to me MA / KMcK have finally woken up to that fact, I'm just surprised it's taken so long for them to realise it! |

He'll be 25yrs old in Sept, money, and roof over his head no issue, how about he takes responsibility for himself and his own actions? |

I loved BW when he was here and from a his footballing qualities I'd have no issue with him returning ( I dont think McKenna would either). But can the club ride a valuable squad place on a player who may take half the season to get back up to pace? |
